Ruben loves hotels. He loves cable TV with movie channels. He loves climate control at his fingertips. He loves blackout curtains. NZ hotels lack these elements pretty universally (at least in our price range). Every time we consider a longer-term stay in NZ, our must-haves include unlimited broadband Internet, cable TV, and window screens.
That said, after a nice night (actually a bit buggy because the silo has two sliding doors for climate control) and hearty breakfast at the silo, we made our way to gorgeous, stunning, crowded-with-tourists Akaroa. Akaroa is New Zealand's French town.

Time to tramp! We chose the Woodills Loop from town. The start was very steep as we made our way out of town, then plateaued in some lovely fields.
